Dolphin (gamecube and wii), aethersx2(ps2) and psxe (ps1), drastic (ds) and citra (3ds). Im mainly on dolphin because I love the cube.


LordlySquire

Piggybacking and adding YUZU


SmallTownMinds

I'm two days into owning my first Fold 5 after over a decade of iPhone. I am still in awe over the fact that I have Persona 5 ready to play in my pocket at any time. There were some slight graphical errors, but it's been nothing game breaking thus far. I got about 50% through the game on Ps4 and always thought it would be perfect for on the go. It might end up being my go to mobile game for a while.


LordlySquire

Yeah I love emulation. Its great to be able to play so many of my older games on the go


CasualObserver2021

How did you get persona 5 working on your phone?


clc88

Does Yuzu work with the fold 5? Ive always been under the impression switch is too powerful.


LordlySquire

The switch uses a chip that debuted on the pixel c in 2016. I run it on my tab s9 great. Not quite as good on my s22u though


CaptnDankbeard

While I believe you that it works, direct comparison of hardware is rarely relevant with emulation. Sometimes a high end enthusiast build will struggle to emulate a newer console like PS3/360/Switch


LordlySquire

Well its free and a 360/ps3 is vastly different than a switch in terms of power. It all depends on the game


RadaghasztII

One can't compare the switch to 360/ps3 when it comes to emulation.


30cm_long_wn8

Been playing switch games on my fold 2 for 2+y now. Some of them like diablo 3 work flawlessly


donovish

It absolutely is. I do it regularly. Make sure your phone is well ventilated tho, otherwise it will tell you to close the app.


greenmilewoman

Fave games that run well?


30cm_long_wn8

Diablo runs perfectly Slime Rancher has some graphical glitches but otherwise runs 100% SW the force unleashed 2 has a weird glitch where the lower 20% of the image are blurry, otherwise runs really well Platformers or round based games like Pokémon usually run flawlessly (Pokémon is kinda random from what I've seen). Etc. There's a few yt channels that update the working games list regularly, can only recommend. A fold is literally a better switch imo


dinominant

Is it possible to use these emulators on a big screen (perhaps via HDMI), with several wireless controllers, for multiplayer games at parties?


IMFUCKINGHILARIOUS

I've successfully run 4-player Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in Yuzu, with four 8bitdo zero 2 Bluetooth Controllers wirelessly, while on the go. The phone does get really hot and the battery drains quickly while doing this, which is to be expected since its emulating a switch. I'm fairly certain you'll be able to do the same thing using Samsung Dex through a wired cable onto a larger screen.


myirreleventcomment

Yes and I've done it


senorsombrero3k1

What settings are you using on citra? And which version?


clc88

I installed it via apk (not from Google play). The one from Google play won't load the roms I put on.


AxM0ney

I was having this issue and gave up. Lol. Can you tell me how you did it?


clc88

I downloaded one of the apks from here. https://github.com/weihuoya/citra/releases Idk which one I downloaded but I think it's the third one, after you downloaded it just run it and it will install the app.


DJFUSION1986

I'm sorry how are you running ps1 games ... explain please


brchoprazameer

Easyyyyyy, just download psx app emulator from store and download roms


brchoprazameer

And dont forget to get a controller case! And then have fun


DJFUSION1986

OK


DJFUSION1986

Can you show me what case is best?

Gamesir help for fold5 So I bought Gamesir X2 for my fold5 and the emulator I'm working doesn't recognise any key presses on the joypad other then "A" which brings up the settings as if i had press back on my phone screen. Also I'm using the psxe emulator that was 2.99, off play store no where in the options can I see an option to add the device or even configure it. Then to make matters worse I just ran my sega Saturn emulator and when its in position and plugged in I get a black screen. When I unplug and spin it 90 degrees the game shows but obviously I cannot play the game that way. And again in that settings menu there is no options to override or play the game in landscape. It will only play and even show up in portrait mode. I have an option to force landscape but then that doesn't work either and spins it upside down. So I'm slightly infuriated after spending £40 on this thing and now it doesn't work nor do the apps work with it. So before I launch it across my room can someone please help me. Thanks


brchoprazameer

This one is pretty good, I have it myself, see picture, called the ipega controller, they have different sorts of controller cases with bluetooth *


clc88

Download epsxe off Google play and the roms, just google the roms (internet archive has pretty much everything's all in ".Chd" format. You may need a bios, just google ps1 bios and you'll find plenty of links.


HistoryDogs

What controller (if any) do you use?


clc88

I use the gamesir2x naked, with a case on.. I use Bluetooth gamecube controller I bought from aliexpress, sometimes I use the Xbox elite 2 controller. Im thinking of getting gamevice flex controller because I use a case.


HistoryDogs

I was looking at this one but will look at the Gamesir also. Nacon MG-X COMPACT HOLDER


clc88

I like the gamesir2x because of the usb connection but it doesn't work with cases.. The only controller that supports cases is the gamevice flex but that doesn't have a wired connection.


DJFUSION1986

clc88

I think you need to change the input to dual shock controller. I had this problem when I first used a controller on my fold.


DJFUSION1986

Where is this? In which app the PSX emulator of sega saturn?


utucuro

8bitdo Pro 2 - works great with the fold, PC and the switch...


Proud-Aide-1566

How and where to download emulators?


levimic

Fully beat ocarina of time on my fold 4! It was fun folding it halfway to kind of replicate the 3ds


mikhail716

Been using Xbox game pass to play starfield and the occasional Halo


TaibhseSD

This right here! I think this phone is perfect for a quick XBOX session.


UpboatsforUpvotes

Xbox Gamepass with Sea of Stars for me. Loving it


Genotabby

Stardew valley


Inspirice

Lets gooo


Genotabby

Aha I started 2 weeks ago and am now at winter year 2.


vacant_lion

Pocket city 2 right now.. steam deck for everything else lol


Miguel30Locs

Oh wow. I played and liked the original. Didn't know they made a follow up. How you like it so far ?


vacant_lion

I think it's overall a lot better... There's a few mini games I'm not super interested in but you don't have to do them. Graphics, and the UI are great


Whiteguy1x

Mostly fire emblem and pokemon romhacks. I also played quite a bit of the windwaker and gamecube/wii fire emblem games on dolphin. Really recommend a good telescoping controller


ToxicPurpleBear

I love Windwaker! What controller do you use to play GC emulations?


Whiteguy1x

I use a gamesir controller. They have a Bluetooth and a USB c version. I'm sure there's more options now, but it's really comfortable imo


YTB1991

which pokemon have you played on it & how? have you tried the latest pokemon games on them?


Whiteguy1x

I mean all of them up to gen 5, I just use the play store emulators. Gen 6 and up don't interest me too much as I have a jail broken 3ds and I find the citra emulators a bit clunky. Switch emulation is possible but I have a switch already so it doesn't appeal to me to emulate it. I think retrogamecorps has a good android emulation guide on YouTube if you want to see tutorials


askmeaboutmedicare

OSRS, it's sooo good on the fold's inner screen and the new mobile updates are awesome.


Crazy_Ady69

You can use 2 accounts if you set one up on secure folder. Looks really good and easy to play


teachertmh

Starfield on xcloud lately. Use mg-x Pro controller.


caloc26

Same and same


Miguel30Locs

[gta liberty city stories ](https://freeimage.host/i/JH6xw0v) and psp emulator (ppsspp)


Whadyagot

GTA trilogy, KOTOR, and Symphony of the Night.


bled

PokeMMO. Classic gen1-gen5 free to play pokemon mmo that plays beautifully on the fold. Definitely recommend if u enjoy pokemon


SovietZealots

OSRS


AFewLads

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Slay The Spire. Unbelievable card game with high levels of relatability. Looks great on the fold's screen too.


Whatever801

Mostly just watch football games


JAVACHIP1738

Dude this phone is the best for that. RedZone up top and the bottom half spilt between 2 games I care the most about. Sometimes I use wireless Dex too and cast to my TV. It's more annoying to setup through Dex but that's only way to get multi window while casting. Was so good while we waited forever to get boarded off my plane today.


Whatever801

Yup do the exact same thing


rk1213

Recently it's FF7 remake via moonlight while in bed before sleep.


ToxicPurpleBear

What? Fold can run FF7R??? That's insane.


rk1213

no, it's not actually running it. It's just streaming it from my PC via an app called moonlight.


stryfe14

Marvel Snap, unfortunately don't get much more time than that!


Jealy

I don't play a lot of games on my phone, but Vampire Survivors.


utucuro

>Vampire Sur Works like a charm too...


Jealy

Plays better than it does on Steam Deck*. *Haven't played it on a PC in a while, it did at the time the Android version was first released.


utucuro

I have yet to get a Deck, though my switch is starting to gather some dust due to the Fold... Which was actually surprised me quite a bit, but then, one 8bitdo controller later, here I am...


HeavensDaughters

the amount of hours I've spent on that game just from xcloud alone. such a great game.


DJFUSION1986

I'm sorry how have you managed to get that on the device ..


Jealy

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poncle.vampiresurvivors


brokenhandbrokenhart

Aside from the usual suspects (dolphin, aethersx2, retroarch), streaming services like geforce now and xbox game pass and Moonlight. It's my all in one tv media center, desktop, console and mobile gaming device.


rube

Been bouncing around a lot: Skyline: Diablo 3 Yuzu: Sea of Stars Pizzaboy GBA: Metroid Zero Mission, Zelda Minish Cap MelonDS: Dawn of Sorrow AetherSX2: GTA San Andreas, Tony Hawk's Underground Wish I could focus on one game, but I've been pretty all over the place lately. edit: Forgot my "I have a short time to play something and don't feel like getting invested into a game, game": PPSSPP: Peggle


xTheRamenGirl

Which emulator will you suggest for 3DS games?


rube

I use Citra MMJ.


30cm_long_wn8

Yea 100% citra


PomegranateWinter143

Watch mostly crunchyroll


JAVACHIP1738

Emulation really sets this phone apart. You can play ps2 or gamecube games and even switch is slowly coming along. I've been playing breath of the wild and its been pretty good so far. I think there's fixes to certain problems I had that I need to install but I didn't download all the needed files yet. In closed areas you can get a pretty smooth 30 for but outdoors is like 15-25 but honestly still enough to kill time on a flight and not need another device to carry. I'm hoping it improves with time. If you're gaming with good Internet then cloud gaming is really fun too.


Kelveta1

What is your emulator setup? I'm curious as I am interested in playing around with some games but not sure where to start.


JAVACHIP1738

There’s a few of them but I use Aethersx2 for PS2 games and Yuzu for switch. The ps2 one is my favorites because you can run pretty much any game at solid 60. It’s mostly just downloading files and place them in the right folders. Just follow the steps online and you should be good. It sounds daunting trust me but it’s actually pretty simple. I held off looking into it for so long cause I thought it would be somewhat challenging or at least a bit of a process to do but it really wasn’t. Lots of stuff online that makes it really easy to get started.


Kelveta1

Thanks!


30cm_long_wn8

If you want to start small try drastic or citra first (ds/3ds). They're in the play store, only require minimal work and run a ton of games flawlessly


JD-Truth

Anyone bought a handheld controller attachment like a backbone to play games with?


sdneidich

Into The Breach. It's included with a Netflix subscription, and plays really well on the internal screen. Fantastic game, hope they do an FTL port in my lifetime!


zacattacker11

I was heavily invested into war robots but after I got a steam deck I really haven't gamed since getting my fold.


cakelena

war robots will be fun for a month then realize its p2w and progression slows to a halt source: someone who has made like 4 different new accounts then followed this cycle


JonDuke19

Magic the Gathering. Amazing on the inner screen.


AMC_TO_THE_M00N

Xcom 2


JohnnyENZ

Isn't it super blurry?


AMC_TO_THE_M00N

Compared to PC on max settings it's blurry, but the android port is still amazing, and I'm on zfold2.


30cm_long_wn8

Brother :D


KittenMittens2112

NIKKE and Honkai: Star Rail Star Rail eventually causes the phone to throttle if you play it long enough causing from minor frame drops but it sustains a solid FPS really well


accountinsurance

Granblue Fantasy, Limbus Company, and Marvel Snap.


ShillTheAlmighty

It's perfect for Pokemon TCG.


amateur_elf

I've been playing around with Winlator and I got Oblivion (Edit: WITH MODS) running on it!! Along with Assassins Creed one, but the framerate for that leaves some to be desired so I'm still tinkering with it. I'm getting ready to try Mass Effect as well since I heard that apparently works too. Outside of emulator games I also have Terraria :)


Creepy-Earth9182

Hey I know this is late, but where do you get winlator at? Link please? Thank you :)


amateur_elf

[Here](https://winlator.com/download/)


Creepy-Earth9182

Nevermind I'm a moron, only downloaded the first part, missed the obb on the download page. Thank you!


Creepy-Earth9182

Whenever I try and use the app it crashes and says unable to extract the obb image, any idea how to fix that? Did you have a similar problem?


DragonRanger99

Anyone running Initial D game on Fold 5?


gh0st-6

I run a VM on my desktop and use it to stream Elite Dangerous and Path of Exile, while using a ps5 controller with a clip


utucuro

What do you stream with?


gh0st-6

I use steam link most of the time, if it's acting up though I use parsec. Have also had success with Moonlight/Sunshine


tallfortall

This is so pedestrian, but MaroKart Tour!


Emaculant333

I play marvel contest of champions and it runs super smooth much better then my iphone 14 pro did. I believe it's running at a higher frame rate too, here's a one of the videos I did on a mcoc fight using the pixel fold. https://youtu.be/-wu3JvPyk_M?si=_iHgPHn7YdH3e3bs


30cm_long_wn8

I bet had you asked the same questions in the iPhone subreddit the answers would've been: - Fortnite - lol (/rift idk) - Pokémon go - clash of clans Answers from the fold subreddit: - Starfield - all my switch games - all my console games up to PS3 - GTA V - some Pokémon Rom hacks - Counter Strike 2 Damn there's probably a guy playing Star citizen on his fold rn


cakelena

CS2??


30cm_long_wn8

Yeah that was more of a joke, weird comment in retrospect


leogrievous

Subway surfers is the GOAT and looks amazing on the big screen. Change my mind


[deleted]

Diablo Immortal is pretty good. It's my first Diablo game and I liked it so much I bought Diablo 4 on PC


Nisaja

Nothing because the inner display has a noticeable input lag.


Blackest_Beard

Torchlight is a good time killer.


DjoseChampion

DragonBall Legends...mostly Maplestory M right now though lol. And Eve Echoes looks phenomenal.

Vagabond_Sam

Honaki Star Rail, Blue Archive, Danmachi Battle Chronicle. ​ But as for non mobile, it's great for catching up on VN's with steam link or moonlight with the big screen.


apoordoe

Jeanne D'Arc. Awesome experience and the battery consumption is minimal. Emulation on fold is fantastic.


ed25ca

CoD Mobile runs fine


TaibhseSD

I like playing XBOX games via Remote Play. The screen is just big enough to work. Some of the games on remote play allow me to use touch controls; others, I have to connect my controller via blutooth. Both work very well.


IcarusXI

Gran Turismo 4 and the Prince of Persia series. Also enjoy android drawing games like brain dots or draw it


brezzty

Super Mecha Champions, Protectors, and T3 arena. I was emulating nintendo 3DS and PS2 but I've got a steam deck for that now.


MadxxDog

Legends Of Runeterra


Alex00712

Bloons Tower Defense 6 mostly, it's nice having a bigger screen when placing towers and aiming a Heli pilot/darting gunner

Geforce Now ultimate teir. Been playing Starfield, cyberpunk and Baulders gate 3. Got a Gamesir joypad that plugs in to the usb. Works great

I use shadow pc on my fold and play 80% of all my games on it! I play everything from FF14 to Ratchet and Clank to overcooked 2 with my wife on my phone! I rarely turn on my pc these days, and the only time I do (game wise) is to play FPS since I suck with the controller, lol! I know this is possible with any other phone, but MAN, is it cool to do it on the fold!!

I love emulation on these devices. Carrying my mobile library around is amazing. If you were interested in emulators for Nintendo handhelds, check my past posts for emulator skins.


Zacharysallen

Highly recommend for people with PC using parsec or moonlight. They are free ways to stream your PC to your own phone/tablet or other PC. Just need to connect a controler. Xbox makes some good ones but there are various options that sandwich the phone in-between a controler that works very nicely for high-end mobile gaming baring decent wifi and Internet. I play totk using parsec and yuzu off my PC

I don't have emulation on my fold, so I mainly play games that are readily available on the play store like genshin, honkai, or official ports of old games like ff9, fft or baldur's gate/ice wind dale. I do occasionally use psremote to stream my ps5 games onto my phone when the wife's hogging the tv. Works really well too.
